I don't let the system sleep, in general - I usually shut it down because the LG drive wakes it up anyway. Let me unplug it and I'll get back to you.

OK, unplugged LG drive and booted back up. Double check energy settings - yep everything checked to shut off when it goes to sleep. Put it to sleep from the apple / sleep button. Worked fine. Went to kitchen, filled quart jar with handle on it with new ice, add water and a bit of lemon juice for flavour, turn on tv and watch tv guide scroll awhile to see what's on - nope, nothing on worth watching, as usual - waited about 15 minutes - that's should be enough time. Walked back to desk and rolled the ball in the Logitech trackball and the system woke up. Drive still shows on desktop, opens with finder - yep seems everything works OK. Course, that could just be my system, too. I would say that if sleep works for you now without the kext file and USB 3.0 drive, it ought to work with the kext file and the USB 3.0 drive plugged in.

Do you think you'd be able to send me your ioreg and possibly the messages from your console when the system went to sleep/woke.

I've installed the LaCie drivers, replaced the PXHCD inside the PXHCD.kext and restarted, and USB Super-Speed bus is showing up in System Profiler.

But I still get this error message showing up in the dmesg log:PXHCD 0x82e98000::UIMCreateControlTransfer - Super Speed device other than LaCie is not supported - Vendor ID[152d]

I'm trying this with a Vantec USB 3.0 Hard drive dock, and using a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R motherboard.

The dock works fine at USB 2 speeds plugged into one of the USB 2 ports.

Any ideas?

It's working very well for me now with a no-name PCI-Card and an external USB 3.0 HD. The missing hint was that I had to rebuild the cache (used pfix for that).Thanks!!

Just wanted to add that I downloaded and ran pfix after seeing this post, and it's working for me now as well - the USB dock works plugged into the USB 3.0 ports on my motherboard and I managed 103.0MB/sec write and 104.8MB/sec read testing with AJA System Test.

Does anyone have a Non-Cartri BIOS EP45-UD3P with a Seagate 750 or 1500 GB SATA drive that they could do a Disk Read/Write test on ? ( using AJA System Test v 3.1 with a 1.0GB file size and a video frame Size of 720x486 8bit )

THIS SATA result is more in line with what I would expect.. Therefore I suspect the issue is with the Seagate drivesvs the MB or Cartri's BIOS

Thanks for the question RW!

( and no, I have no jumpers on the seagates forcing them to SATA I )

Hmm, try testing the Seagate on the same sata port as the Raptor, but i think it's more likely related to the Seagate hard disk and not the Mb or Catri's bios.Also confirm that Spotlight is not indexing while testing the drive.

ditto, can you explain in which port are you using the seagate?As the bios is emulating the whole macpro 4,1 ich10 sata ahci, id suggest you to use the third port (PRT2) as the 1 1st ports could be reserved for dvds.
